Day 19/Acts 19 The tail end of verse 26 sounds like nonsense to us today; “And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.” It might make sense to us [...]

Day 18/Acts 18 My first decade of professional work was and still is teaching in the public school system. During those first 10 years I can think about the many options I had to pursue different avenues. I was very blessed and earned some school system and state recognition for my teaching.

  Day 14/Acts 14 Verse 22 puts chapter 14 in perspective for any Christian wanting to see the Kingdom of God grow, “…It is necessary to pass through many troubles on our way into the Kingdom of God.” (HCSB) I think I have glossed over that verse and tuning my eyes onto the verses about [...]
